The black hole of packing cubes
Patagonia black hole cubes for backpack?
For the price, I'd buy granite gear event dry bags or zippys if you want zippered cubes. I love mine, but I'm sure Patagonia has great quality cubes as does granite gear. Mine are going on 2years. The thin ripstop nylon allows you to squeez and compress your clothes rather well.

I love the small one as my toiletries bag, and have a bunch of the medium ones for packing. They definitely aren’t the lightest, but they feel great and are perfect for throwing into my duffle (also a Black Hole <3 )

I was gifted a patagonia 10L packing cube recently because my (way) cheaper cubes are withering away and I was refusing to acknowledge their slow departure from my world.
Just want to say how amazing they are. I know they’re $$$$$ for what they are but holy shit balls.
I was able to fit 4 tank tops, 3 T-shirt’s, 2 sets of shorts, 2 pairs of jeans, socks for awhile, underwear, a microfibre towel and face cloth, a sun hoodie and a regular light hoodie in it.
In other words - two of my other cubes/an entire trips worth of stuff and now my pack is empty and I finally don’t need to play shoe Tetris XD
They are literally the black hole of packing cubes and I’m super tempted to get the 6L even though they’re a small arm and a leg in price for a packing cube.
Has anyone else here used them? Are there any alternatives with the ‘suit case’ style packing system?
P.s my pack is a first gen osprey farpoint 40L and the cube fits perfectly in the terribly awkward gap at the bottom.
